David Tells Nathan of the Cedar House
David sits crowned in a cedar room and gestures toward a window showing the tabernacle tent while Nathan sits beside him with a staff.
Prompt
2 Samuel 7: King David, sitting at rest in his house of cedar, tells the prophet Nathan, "I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains," and later sits before the LORD in humble wonder. David, crowned and in royal blue, sits large and central on a carved cedar chair in a warm cedar-panelled room, leaning forward with an earnest, longing expression, one hand gesturing out the window. Nathan the prophet stands close beside him, large in frame, listening with a thoughtful, kindly face, staff in hand. Through the window, in soft focus, a simple tent tabernacle of curtains on the hill of Zion. Golden evening light on the cedar wood; peaceful, devout mood. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
